Dalai Lama to the world: 'Religion is no longer adequate'
Dalai Lama to the world: ‘Religion is no longer adequate’
forget to:
“All the world’s major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.”
The Dalai Lama’s advice sounds startling familiar — one that echos the sentiment put forth by outspoken atheist Sam Harris who argues that science can answer moral questions. The Dalai Lama is no stranger to scientific discourse, and has developed a great fascination with neuroscience in particular. It’s very possible, therefore, that his thinking has aligned with Harris.
It’s important to remember that Tibetan Buddhists, while rejecting belief in God and the soul, still cling to various metaphysical beliefs, including karma, infinite rebirths, and reincarnation. But interestingly, the Dalai Lama once had this to say on the subject:
“My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation: if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.”
Other Buddhists, however, such as Stephen Batchelor, argue that Buddhism should be stripped of all its metaphysical baggage and simplified down to its basic philosophical and existential tenets — a suggestion that has given rise to secular Buddhism.

The Dalai Lama’s guilty of having (The main Freedom Fighter Of Tibet) Gongthang Tsultrim assassinated.
The killer confessed twice to two police forces that he was paid by the Dalai Lama’s puppet government-in-exile and the Dalai’s brother Gyalo Thondup is now targeted by two arrest warrants in Bhutan and Nepal.
The Nobel Peace Prize in Norway are dishonored to have rewarded a criminal (the Dalai Lama) and his clique – who actually work for the Chinese (Gyalo Thondup has a house in Pekin and is an agent for the Ciommunists in Tibet.) and the Norwegians will carry that guilt with them because they’ve betrayed themselves and the cause of justice and truth.
I don’t see my comment;
Somebody afraid of the truth?

good for you, Geir. Keep up the good work. I suggest you should ask freewilloffering, moralsmatter, banderman and One Who Knows Everything to join your Army of Truth…these little brain dead imps seem to respond to your manipulation. I think it would be easy for you to convince them to follow you as the World Messiah.
